5 teams who could vie for Dak Prescott’s services in 2025 if not extended in Dallas
Although all indications point to a potential agreement between the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott in their back-and-forth contract negotiations, what if that agreement never materializes? Prescott’s current contract includes a no-trade and no-tag clause, so 2024 might be his final year in Dallas. We thought today would be a good time to survey the league to see what teams would be interested in Dak Prescott should he become a free agent in 2025. We chose to remain with the most logical candidates, even though there would undoubtedly be several.
1. Pittsburgh Steelers
Which quarterback, Russell Wilson or Justin Fields, is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ best long-term option? Most likely not. That implies that in 2025, they will be searching for a long-term answer, and Dak Prescott might be at the top of their list of priorities. They have a squad with enough skill to draw him in and enough salary cap space to give him the kind of contract he wants at the top of the market.
2. Las Vegas Raiders
In order to challenge Aiden O’Connell for the starting quarterback position in 2024, the Raiders paid Gardner Minshew $15 million this offseason. However, neither player is expected to stay there for the long run. They might be able to draft a quarterback in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft if they semi-tank this season, or they might seek for a more experienced player like Dak Prescott. Dak might be persuaded to explore Las Vegas by Davante Adams alone.
3. New York Giants
Could Dak Prescott stay in the NFC East? Unless Daniel Jones turns things around, he likely won’t be in the future plans of the N.Y. Giants. In fact, the Giants can save $30 million in cap space in 2025 by designating Jones a post-June 1 cut. Getting the chance to stick it to the Cowboys twice a year, and play with a WR who is it expected to be a superstar in Malik Nabers, could be all the incentive Prescott needs stay in the division.
4. New Orleans Saints
The Derek Carr-Dennis Allen duo has one more chance in 2024 to prove themselves long-term in New Orleans, but the Saints cleaning house is also possible. In that scenario whoever the new head coach is would likely prefer to start his tenure off with an established QB like Dak Prescott. The Saints have the weapons to the lure Dak, but would have to get creative with their salary-cap to pay him, but it’s doable.
5. Seattle Seahawks
For Dak Prescott, the Seahawks are a wild card club. Even though Geno Smith has recently made two Pro Bowls, they might think he’s the key to a possible Super Bowl. If they split up after 2024, their combined cap space may be saved $25 million. And this combination might work well for both teams with young offensive tackles like Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas and wide receivers like DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njiba.
